American College of Emergency Physicians
ACEP for Outstanding Contribution to Research
Congratulations to Joseph P. Ornato, MD, FACEP who received the 2025 Outstanding Contribution in Research Award at ACEP25 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
In “The Power of Research” — the YouTube video shared as part of Dr. Gail D'Onofrio's Brooks F. Bock Lecture at Research Forum 2025 — viewers are taken through a compelling journey into how rigorous investigation fuels progress in emergency medicine. The talk highlights pivotal studies, bridging the gap between scientific discovery and real-world impact in emergency settings. With clarity and passion, the speakers underscore how each data point, clinical trial, and exploratory method serves as a stepping stone toward better patient outcomes. It’s a vivid reminder that research is more than inquiry — it’s a driving force behind innovation, policy, and lifesaving care.
“Research is how we move from questions to answers that save lives.”
“Every patient encounter is an opportunity to learn, to test, and to improve the future of care.”
If you were unable to attend Dr. D'Onofrio's keynote lecture ED Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder: Innovation and Discovery at ACEP25, please take the time to view this compelling video that highlights the importance of emergency medicine research.
